This week, we lost all of our sanity by Wednesday evening. You can blame the 400 presentations we had to give this week. Caffeine no longer has any effect on us, but you know what does? Some wholesomely adorable animals.

Why didn't anyone ever warn us that adulting was so hard? How in the world are we supposed to get a full night's sleep, work a full-time job, manage some semblance of a social life, work out, eat healthily, and be a good pawrent without bursting out into tears every night? We can't be the only ones struggling with this crazy thing we call life. It's enough to make us want to throw away our phones, our computers, and all societal rules to go live in the forest and become one with nature. 

But that means no Netflix, so on second thought, we'll have to find a way to cope. 

Some people shop to make themselves feel better, others let their rage out with sports like Muay Thai or indulge in a "rage room", but our vice is something much simpler, and much closer to our hermit desires. We love to take a paws with a few very deep breaths, and enjoy some wholesomely adorable animals. From puppies smiling to hamsters on skateboards, there's just something about them that instinctively makes us smile. There's no catchy phrase, no hook to keep us entertained, just a series of cute critters that relax our brains and souls. 

Not everything needs glitz, glam, and a bowtie. Sometimes, the simplest things are what our souls need, and we're happy to provide them to you. Have a great rest of your week, and we hope your sanity safely makes it through.

    anomalousdata This is one of my favorite pictures on the Internet, because all of the combined elements make it delightful. 1. The woman in the background, clearly horrified 2. The neatly arranged plants, so you know that this is not a house often visited by the chaos gods. 3. And of course, the mighty DESCEN DING PUFF, who is coming in for a landing on your face whether you like it or not. Source: givemeinternet 788,637 notes on
